An experimental investigation into the dynamics of a string

We describe a detailed experimental investigation into the dynamics of a sinusoidally forced string. We find qualitative agreement with the predictions of the averaged equations of motion for a string in the high damping regime. At low damping we observe more complex phenomena not present in the averaged equations.
